Korean Soaps in Crisis

Korean Soaps in Crisis

I take it from the photo accompanying the article that the new drama with Jang Jin-Young is out...

Despite the fact that some series do achieve high popularity, and there are some good performances, the mass production of soaps can only continue for so long before creativity is exhausted...

On the other hand, while other countries may stop importing Korean dramas (or cut down on the number at the very least), Korean TV companies have a captive audience at home. What else will Koreans watch, if not dramas? It's not like they'll throw the TV out and do something else with their time... just like most Americans would rather do their "own thing," whether it be enjoying a solitary life in front of a cold television screen, or pursuing the pleasure of the day with their group of friends.

Without access to the Internet at home, I haven't been able to browse the photos at Yahoo Korea...
